What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious medical condition resulting in permanent damage to the spine and nerves. SCIs are often caused by trauma and can lead to paralysis, loss of sensation, and other life-changing impacts. These injuries can occur at any level of the spine, with higher-level injuries resulting in more severe symptoms.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
There are two primary types of spinal cord injuries: complete and incomplete. A complete SCI refers to a total loss of function below the site of injury, while an incomplete SCI means there is some remaining function below the injury site. Common types of spinal cord injuries include:
- Paraplegia: This occurs when an SCI occurs in the lower half of the spine, resulting in paralysis of the legs and possibly some abdominal muscles.
- Quadriplegia: This condition results from SCIs in the upper half of the spine, resulting in the paralysis of both arms and legs and potentially affecting breathing and other bodily functions.
- Tetraplegia: Similarly to quadriplegia, this refers to paralysis affecting all four limbs and may also involve the loss of sensation and motor control in the torso and pelvic area.

Everyone we worked with was amazing. They were so patient and explained everything in detail. They worked with my mom and then when she passed away the game plan changed and they made sure to explain everything. We were blessed to have them on our team. I would highly recommend them.

Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me.
